LARKANA, Oct 29: A PML-N worker was killed while another was wounded in a gun attack on a restaurant near the Chandka bridge here on Monday.

One day before the attack, victim Asadullah Bhutto, 30, and the wounded man, Babar Solangi, 28, had a heated argument with some members of the Jagirani clan at a CNG station.
